KING KONG
(Jimmy Castor / Johnny Pruitt)
The Jimmy Castor Bunch - 1975
Komo sambe, Kong!
Wah-ah-wah-wah, wah-ah-wah-wooh
He lived in the jungle where he was born the king
His great strength made him lord of everything
No creature crossed his path and lived for long
His name, so legend tells us, was King Kong
His height was never measured, but was great
The jungle shook beneath his mighty weight
His arms were muscled, sturdy as a tree
His chest was thick and wide as could be
Komo sambe (King King)
Komo sambe, Kong (King Kong)
Komo sambe (King Kong)
Komo sambe, Kong (King Kong)
Komo sambe
He didn't dance or party
He spoke at times, but hardly
One woman heard his love call
But he was too big and too tall
Woo-woo-a-woo-a-woo-wooh
Woo-woo-whoo-a-woo-a-woo-wooh
One day while Kong was sleeping on his back
A tyrannosaurus launched a sneak attack
They fought, first Kong went down, then up again
The fight went on, no one knew who would win
Kong reached and seized the monster with both hands
And summoned all the strength at his command
He stretched the creature's mouth till it was split
Then like a child, began to play with it
He beat his hairy chest and looked around
Five miles away they heard his roaring sound
Komo sambe (King King)
Komo sambe, Kong (King Kong)
Komo sambe (King Kong)
Komo sambe, Kong (King Kong)
Komo sambe
He didn't dance or party
He spoke at times, but hardly
One woman heard his love call
But he was too big and too tall
Woo-woo-a-woo-a-woo-wooh
Woo-woo-whoo-a-woo-a-woo-wooh
>From everyone he knew, he got respect
Whoever failed to give it, he'd correct
No creature crossed his path and lived for long
His name, so legend tells us, was King Kong
Komo sambe (King Kong)
Komo sambe, Kong (King Kong)
Komo sambe (King Kong)
Komo sambe, Kong (King Kong)
(King Kong)
(King Kong)
(King Kong)
(King Kong)
(King Kong)
(King Kong)
(King Kong)
(King Kong)
(King Kong)
Kong, Kong)
(King Kong)
(King Kong)
King, King, King Kong
(King Kong)
King, King, King Kong
(King Kong)
(King Kong)
